Serj,

I'm sorry to tell you, but your problem [very probably] has nothing to do with
the GSL.

The problem is that your compiler (gcc) can't find the library file
(libgsl.so.0).  You might try to install a pre-packaged binary from Fedora Core,
if one exists or else you might try to locate (by hand) the library that you
built.  If you find it, modify your compilation command to read something more
like:

gcc 1.c -o 1.out -L/path/to/libgsl -lgsl -lgslcblas

In passing, these are generic instructions on using gcc, so if you have the same
problem with other libraries, try the same fix.

Good luck
